-----------------------------------------
Hi Jay,
yes the problem can be fixed when changing all jstl libs to prevent //
in jakarta taglibs 1.1.2 they will do this, if you enter a context value in the
tag. but they won't check for // if context value is not defined in tag.
for this i already build have a patch, but this is not the only jstl lib who
did this way. as for me i also use the spring taglibs which will produce the
same problem.
the problem is that tomcat only returns a empty string when webapp dir is
called ROOT
but for geronimo ROOT is not possible
i have tried to look into the code of tomcat and geronimo to find the place
where this could be fixed, but i haven't found it yet (first look into those
source code)
maybe its possible to patch the Request class from tomcat
in method: setContextPath
there is a check if path is null, this can be extended to also check if its
only /
but i think this would be a ugly hack.
